Story
I'm a trustee of Hackney Quest and have been mentoring and volunteering when I can for many years. Firstly because they do really impactful, creative and systemic work to help young people, their families and communities to see their own potential and thrive, and have been an invaluable support through COVID. Secondly because I learn a great deal from the team and young people of Hackney Quest about what community can really mean in London, and how much healing, learning and personal growth can be encouraged by a caring, passionate and deeply embedded group of people. I recommend following their work on instagram and their innovative initiatives like https://newfutureshq.org.uk
